Chronic mania in childhood: case report of a possible association with a radiological picture of cerebellar disease.

Abstract

The case-history of a woman with psychiatric symptoms since childhood is reported, the best label for which was that of "chronic mania". Cerebellar atrophy was suspected on radiological grounds. The literature on chronic mania in childhood and on cerebellar damage and mental changes is reviewed and the view is put forward that cerebellar dysfunction may play a part in the production of some psychiatric symptoms.
